Cable Numbers

[RyanG]

What is the logic that determines if a cable number is shown on both ends?   Is there a way to force it to show regardless of how short it is?   I have two layers with the same devices (Different names and tags) on both layers.  One layer will put the tag on both sides, the other won't (same path)

Hi Ryan

 

The idea here is to save space where the connections are very short and the path is not complex. If you separate your devices more and leave some room both numbers will be drawn.

I understand that,   is there a option to force it (or feature request,  can there be an option).   

 

I am not able to widen the space on that sheet due to other things.   My issue is the logic is not consistent. 

 

Attached is two photos of the same devices on two different layers.   What would cause the same line path, same length to not show on one layer.

Would it be possible for you to send me the file in a PM so we can see what's going on? Inconsistency is a bug so we need to fix that.

Unfortunately I can't send this file due to confidentiality requirements from our company.    

 

However Ill try to re-create it on a blank file for you a little bit later today.
